This study presents a method for fitting complex electrophysiological data using Microsoft Excel's Solver. The technique employs multiple Gaussian functions for accurate analysis of experimental data, like mouse optic nerve potentials.

Area of Science:

  • Electrophysiology
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Fitting complex electrophysiological data often requires specialized, expensive software.
  • Previous methods allowed fitting with a single function, but not multiple.
  • Non-linear regression analysis is crucial for interpreting experimental data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a versatile method for fitting complex electrophysiological data using Microsoft Excel's Solver add-in.
  • To provide an accessible alternative to specialized software for multi-function data fitting.
  • To apply the method to stimulus-evoked compound action potentials from the mouse optic nerve.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the Solver add-in in Microsoft Excel for data fitting.
